Sure, he isn't exactly swimming in freshly minted gold coins. But the Scottish-born, London-based DJ, singer, and producer has banked a hefty chunk of frequent-flyer miles. And in a time when airline fees are astronomical, every perk counts.

However, a grueling travel schedule and some stage fright nearly got the best of Harris a few years ago. "I've stopped the live shows," he told Australia's Herald Sun in 2010. "I'm not a singer, I'm not trained. Taking it onto the stage in front of people was terrifying. I got much, much better at it. But I never lost the terror."

That's why instead of personally singing on tracks (as he did for his debut album, 2007's I Created Disco), Harris outsourced the vocals. He told the Sun: "I'm going to focus slightly more on production and DJing, and zero percent of my time will go on singing. I'll do tracks with people who can sing well: proper artists, proper performers."

So expect Harris to be doing what he does best — DJing — this Thursday at LIV. As for the vocals, he'll just press play.
